Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction Purpose Throughout the years, the Area Plan Commission of Tippecanoe County (APC), charged with planning and zoning responsibilities for the City of Lafayette, has prepared several neighborhood plans that have been amended into the Comprehensive Plan. On June 7, 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution #2010‐05 which requested the APC study the neighborhood and create, with its residents and property owners, a plan to provide a long‐term vision for future development, infill, preservation and streetscape improvement within the Historic Centennial Neighborhood. This plan for the Historic Centennial Neighborhood (HCN) reflects the grass roots effort and collective ideas of neighborhood residents, business owners, religious, arts and cultural interests and general participants in the public engagement process which is detailed on page 10. In 2009 the Historic Centennial Neighborhood Association determined that a neighborhood master plan outlining recommendations for redevelopment could be a useful tool to continue the neighborhood’s progress. The formalized planning effort, desired for years, was brought to fruition through the combined resources of the Lafayette Economic Development Department, CityBus of Greater Lafayette and the Area Plan Commission (APC) of Tippecanoe County. The HCN Plan provides for a more intense study of the neighborhood that is tailored to the needs of the residents, property owners and downtown in general. The Plan is intended to influence public improvements and steer private investment in order to promote neighborhood stabilization and preservation, as well as other compatible revitalization. Within this document are goals, policies and implementation strategies that provide recommendations for future improvement within the HCN. Ultimately, this plan will provide the foundation of stronger regulation for HCN development through the establishment of an overlay zoning district, Design Review Committee, form‐based code, and other regulatory tools. Historic Centennial Neighborhood Plan | 1: Introduction 10‐2012 | 3 Following adoption, this plan will serve as decision‐making guidance for the Area Plan Commission, the City Council, the City Engineer's Office, Lafayette Division of the Area Board of Zoning Appeals and the local development community among others. Undoubtedly, the members of the Historic Centennial Neighborhood will monitor development activities to ensure the best possible development. The ongoing partnership between these and other partners will result in revitalization strategies designed to achieve established goals. Relevant Planning Documents Previous studies and plans, though they mainly address areas surrounding the HCN, were reviewed to ensure that the HCN Plan will not be out of context or incompatible with their goals and recommendations. These documents include: The Urban Corridor Master Plan for the Wabash River: This plan, completed in November of 2011, by the Wabash River Enhancement Corporation provides recommendations for the redevelopment of land along the Wabash River through the urbanized areas of Lafayette and West Lafayette. Some of the larger ideas in that plan that affect the HCN include the creation of a Brown Street Pedestrian Bridge that crosses the Wabash River, redevelopment of parcels east of and directly adjacent to the existing railroad, and development of a natural park (“signature park”) along the riverfront. Lafayette Downtown Action Agenda (2002) and Update (2007): Created specifically for Downtown improvement, this plan and update recommend maintaining high‐quality single‐ and multi‐family homes in residential areas surrounding Downtown, and place an emphasis on the development of market‐rate housing units in proportion to market conditions and demand. It also recommends that major commercial uses continue to locate downtown rather than encroaching upon Downtown‐adjacent neighborhoods. Finally, with regard to influence on this plan, it recommends ongoing communication occurring quarterly between organizations with major interests in Downtown including adjacent neighborhood associations. The Neighborhood Plans for the Historic Jeff Neighborhood (2001) and Lincoln Neighborhood (1995): Written by APC staff, these two plans included goals and objectives based on input from property owners and residents. Both plans resulted in successful down‐zones of these two neighborhoods. CityBus Five‐Year Strategic Plan: Relative to this plan, CityBus recommends improvements to the downtown transit facility, currently in design. It also recommends improvements to bus service, ridership, facilities and operations as well as developing “…transit‐oriented housing and 4 | 10‐2012 1: Introduction | Historic Centennial Neighborhood Plan other services near CityBus lines” and to “take a central role in regional/local planning related to land use, transit, roadways and pedestrian access.” Also, among CityBus’s top priorities are: o initiating development projects, working with partners in the Lafayette area, o participating in transit‐oriented residential development projects in the downtown area targeting Purdue students and faculty and in key transit corridors, and o promoting transit‐oriented development as a tool for densifying the core of the CityBus service area. Community of Choice Plan: Facilitated by Rebecca Ryan of Next Generation Consulting, the 2011 study attempted to identify what will attract and keep young professionals in Lafayette. Near North Neighborhood Lafayette Charrette: Performed by Ball State University Students in September 1999, sketches indicate a long‐standing vision for contextual urban design within the neighborhood. Lafayette Comprehensive Five Year Park Master Plan 2009‐2013: This plan, written by the Lafayette Parks Department, includes recommendations for improvements to city‐wide park sites, facilities, riverfront and trails. Location Historic Centennial Neighborhood is located just north of Downtown Lafayette, adjacent to the Wabash River. Study Area Boundary The study area is more than 40 square blocks within the centerlines of Union Street on the north, N. 9th Street on the east, Ferry Street to the south and the Wabash River on the west. Location of HCN Historic Centennial Neighborhood Plan | 1: Introduction 10‐2012 | 5 Neighborhood Boundary 6 | 10‐2012 1: Introduction | Historic Centennial Neighborhood Plan History Historic Centennial Neighborhood is located just north of Lafayette’s downtown commercial district and is the city’s oldest urban neighborhood. The neighborhood’s boundaries cover part of the original 1825 plat of Lafayette along with several additions platted between 1829 and 1866 and the subdivisions of several mid‐ nineteenth century estates. The streets follow the rectangular grid of the original plat, with some irregularities in the eastern part of the neighborhood. The southern edge of the neighborhood bordered Lafayette’s bustling commercial district. The western portion of the neighborhood along the Wabash & Erie Canal corridor was primarily industrial and included 6th Street north from near Cincinnati, 1889, showing a typical tree‐lined street with iron fences defining the public space of the sidewalk (Herman Berry Collection) large establishments such as Thieme & Wagner’s Lafayette Brewery. The area between 4th and 9th Streets was primarily residential and featured tree‐lined streets. The downtown commercial district extended into the neighborhood along 3rd and 4th Streets and smaller neighborhood commercial nodes were present at the intersections of 9th and Cincinnati Streets and 9th and Union Streets. A site at the center of the neighborhood contained one of Lafayette’s first

  • Kethtippecanunk, a Mixed 18Th- and Early L9th-Century Town on the Banks of the Tippecanoe River- Recent Research by Jones, James R., III
    Kethtippecanunk, A mixed 18th- and early l9th-century town on the banks of the Tippecanoe river- recent research by Jones, James R., III Jones, James R., III (Department of Anthropology, Indiana University- Indianapolis ) KETHTIPPECANUNK, A MIXED 18TH- AND EARLY l9TH-CENTURY TOWN ON THE BANKS OF THE TIPPECANOE RTVER- RECENT RESEARCH Early aboriginal, and later, mixed Euroamerican-Indian occupations near the mouth of the Tippecanoe River are reported in documents during the latter two-thirds of the 18th century, and continue until the early 1800s. Inhabitants or users of the area included Native Americans such as the Wea, other Miami groups, the Potawatomi, and Euroamericans such as French traders. By the late 1700s, the mixed French-Indian town of Kethtippecanunk (site 12 T S9) was flourishing there, and consisted of a large number of substantial structures and a predominantly Euroamerican settlement style, until destroyed by militia in 1791. Analysis of past surface artifact collections from the site (1984- present), and controlled archaeological and magnetometer reconnaissance by IU-Indianapolis in 1987, reveal an occupation quite different from the downstream sites of the Wea Village (12 T 6), Fort Ouiatenon (12 T 9), and the "Kickapoo Mascouten" area north of the fort. Given its cultural "mix" and utilitarian emphasis upon trading, artifacts from Kethtippecanunk were expected to reflect a predominantly Euroamerican pattern, especially in terms of architectural, construction, hardware, and kitchen items. Comparison of 12 T 59 to the other 18th-century sites in the region should help reveal differential patterns of acculturation and historic development for the various early historic cultures in Tippecanoe County.

  • The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian the SETTING Tippecanoe County, Locate
    The History of Tippecanoe County Compiled by Quinten Robinson, Tippecanoe County Historian THE SETTING Tippecanoe County, located in west-central Indiana, is about 65 miles northwest of Indianapolis and 100 miles southeast of Chicago. Tippecanoe County is 21 miles east to west and 24 miles north to south and Lafayette, the county seat, is situated on the banks of the Wabash nearly in the center. About one-half the surface consists of broad, fertile, and nearly level plains. The balance consists of gently rolling uplands, steep hillsides or rich alluvial bottoms. Occasional wetlands or bogs are found but those were largely drained by the beginning of the 20th century. The Wabash River flows nearly through the middle of Tippecanoe County from northeast to southwest. Tributaries to the Wabash River that drain the north and west parts of Tippecanoe County are the Tippecanoe River, Burnett Creek, Indian Creek, and Little Pine Creek. Draining the south and east parts of the county are Sugar Creek, Buck Creek, North, South and Middle Forks of the Wildcat Creek, Wea Creek, and Flint Creek. Besides Lafayette, cities and towns in Tippecanoe County are West Lafayette, the home of Purdue University, Battle Ground, West Point, Otterbein, Dayton, Clarks Hill, Romney, Stockwell, Americus, Colburn & Buck Creek. In 2010 county population was set at 172,780 PREHISTORIC TIPPECANOE COUNTY The terrain, the Wabash River, and the creeks you see today in Tippecanoe County came to their present condition about 10,000 years ago as the last continental glacier retreated northward leaving a vastly different landscape than what had existed before the advance of the ice sheets began over 700,000 years ago.
